Shardell and Marsha are planning a party. Since they are both hosting, they have agreed to split the cost for everything in half. The catering bill is $325, the venue bill is $250, and the DJ is $375. If state tax is 9%, what will Shardell’s portion cost?(1 point).
Certainly! Let's break down the calculations step by step.
The total cost for everything is $325 + $250 + $375 = $950.
To find Shardell's portion, we divide the total cost by 2: $950 / 2 = $475.
Now we need to calculate the tax on Shardell's portion. The tax rate is 9%, so we multiply $475 by 0.09: $475 * 0.09 = $42.75.
Finally, we add the tax to Shardell's portion: $475 + $42.75 = $517.75.
Therefore, Shardell's portion will cost $517.75 (rounded to the nearest cent).
To calculate the percent error, we need to find the absolute difference between the predicted value and the actual value, divide it by the predicted value, and then multiply by 100 to get a percentage.
The predicted number of bags to be sold was 250, and the actual number of bags sold was 266.
The absolute difference between these two values is |250 - 266| = 16.
To find the percent error, we divide the absolute difference by the predicted value: 16 / 250 = 0.064.
Finally, we multiply this ratio by 100 to convert it into a percentage: 0.064 * 100 = 6.4.
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the percent error is 6%.
To calculate the percent error, we need to find the absolute difference between the predicted value and the actual value, divide it by the actual value, and then multiply by 100 to get a percentage.
The predicted weight of Sam was 60 pounds, and the actual weight of Sam is 75 pounds.
The absolute difference between these two values is |60 - 75| = 15.
To find the percent error, we divide the absolute difference by the actual value: 15 / 75 = 0.2.
Finally, we multiply this ratio by 100 to convert it into a percentage: 0.2 * 100 = 20.
Therefore, the percent error is 20%.
The total cost for everything is $325 + $250 + $375 = $<<325+250+375=950>>950.
The tax on Shardell's portion will be $950 * 0.09 = $<<950*0.09=85.50>>85.50.
So Shardell's portion will cost $950 / 2 + $85.50 = $<<950/2+85.50=560.50>>560.50. Answer: \boxed{560.50}.
